This past week the children have been home for Spring Break. We used this opportunity to do a little spring cleaning. The kids had to earn the opportunity to do something fun each day by helping to deep clean one room in the house. They earned a trip to the library, friends over and trips to the park. We actually enjoyed two very nice weather days which we have been waiting in anticipation for. On a side note, Stacey has been summoned to jury duty during the month of April. While it would be interesting, she's hoping to get by the month without having to go. So far, the first week will be avoided.
I have to make a correction from Sam's previous birthday post. He did indeed get his treehouse thanks to Grandpa and Sheri. All the kids enjoyed it tremendously when it was inside and made all kinds of forts. They were real disappointed when it found it's way outside. Now that the weather is getting nicer we hope it encourages their outside play. He also got a hangglider, although it was for a little Diego figure. He still hopes for one that he can fly on.
The kids helped to decorate a birthday cake for Grandma. Mark convinced her to have a big bird cake. We were able to celebrate with her during the week.
The girls are super excited to be flower girls in Aunt Kari's upcoming wedding. Here they are trying on their flower girl dresses. Congratulations Kari and Bob! We are also excited for the arrival of their baby in October!
